Ok, the list of attendees is pretty much final now, so we should start looking at what hardware to use.
Here are my suggestions. I am leaning towards the TS-7260 base model. Remember that the prices are in USD, and may end up costing an extra 50% or more by the time it gets here. If you are attending, please let me know which one you would prefer. I will make sure that whatever we order will be compatible from a workshop point of view (which is why the TS-7400 is off the list.) The TS-7300 is a little different as well, but if someone really wants it, I can see if it would fit into the workshop parameters. Again, an official list will be kept here: http://mcarlson.ca/projects/index.php?page=Linux_SBC_Workshop TS-7200: http://www.embeddedarm.com/epc/ts7200-spec-p.php ------ * $150, or $165 with 16MB flash * 200 MHz ARM9 processor with MMU * 32 MB SDRAM * 8 MB Flash disk (16 MB optional) * 10/100 Ethernet * Compact Flash * 2 USB 2.0 Compatible OHCI ports (12 Mbit/s Max) * 2 COM ports * 20 DIO * PC/104 expansion bus * Optional A/D and RS-485 TS-7260: http://www.embeddedarm.com/epc/ts7260-spec-h.htm ------ * $179 or $195 for 64 MB RAM and 32 MB Flash or $230 for 64 MB RAM and 128 MB Flash * 200Mhz ARM9 CPU with MMU * 32 MB SDRAM (64-128 MB optional) * High efficiency switching-mode power supply (4.5-20VDC Unregulated Input) * 32 MB on-board NAND flash drive * Standard TS-XDIO* * Optional SD Card socket* * Optional 2 extra TTL serial ports* * 2 USB 2.0 Compatible (12 Mbit/s max) * 10/100 Ethernet port * 30 total DIO pins * 3 standard COM ports * Watchdog timer * 2-channel on-board 12-bit ADC * PC/104 expansion bus * SPI bus interface * Matrix Keypad and text LCD support * Optional Battery-Backed RTC * Optional USB 802.11g WiFi with drivers TS-7250: http://www.embeddedarm.com/epc/ts7250-spec-h.html ------ * $150 or $190 for 64 MB RAM and 128 MB Flash * 200 MHz ARM9 processor with MMU * 32 MB SDRAM (64 MB optional) * 32 MB Flash disk (128MB optional) * 10/100 Ethernet * USB Flash drives supported * 2 USB ports, 2 COM ports, 20 DIO * PC/104 expansion bus * 5 channels 12-bit A/D converter * Optional 8 channel A/D * Optional RS-485 -Mark C. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
